Good point, hadn't thought of that, looks to be the situation so far as well so appears this is the case, thanks, that is very useful. ^

Thanks, much appreciated (seat info and your kind words) ^

I'll second your words of thanks to everyone that has contributed to these threads as it truly is a group effort and wouldn't be possible without the person that started this thread, the people interested in the new planes, the various people from different walks of life that have incredibly insightful and helpful thoughts on why and when the flights would happen, the BA cabin crew and BAA staff and of course the rest of us that lurk in the background! ^ I can't buy you all a drink unfortunately (unless we meet in a BA lounge so consider this a nice friendly group hug )

Thanks ^ wikipost duly updated to this point. Please do let me know of any changes or amendments and if you happen to notice whether that flight offers Upper Deck / Lower Deck / All cabins for seating. ^

I have now heard rumours from a few locations that Sept. flights will occur so that is also good news... ^

Oh and terribly sorry, welcome to cooldood49 ^ , glad to have you join the thread and the BA FT forum, look forward to hearing what you thought of the lovely new plane if you get a chance. Might I ask if there is a cooldood family event on that day? (I seem to remember an earlier incarnation of cooldood posting they were going on that date as well ^ )
